The central idea of PhD in the USA is that any student with a university degree can get a postgraduate degree in the United States. This book outlines the steps for getting accepted to a university, and shatters the myths and fears which keep thousands of students from starting the postgraduate adventure. Whatever your situation may be, this book will help you make the decision and start the process. You will learn everything you need to know about how to prepare your application and how to get paid for doing your graduate studies. This book will take you by the hand up until the moment your plane lands at the closest airport to the university where you will study your master’s or doctorate. The goal is to reduce your anxiety and give you confidence for the journey. In this book you will learn: - that your age, being married, or having children are not obstacles to pursuing your postgraduate degree in the USA - how to deal with fears that may be working against you - the benefits of postgraduate studies in the USA - how to prepare yourself to take the TOEFL and the GRE exams - how to find a graduate program in the USA - how to fill out the application - how to prepare your “academic writing sample” - how to write your “statement of intent” - how to get a full scholarship - how to find a house or apartment near the university, while still in your country - your agenda for the week before the first semester

He started his doctoral studies at Northern Illinois University and transferred when his professor, the late Rathindra Bose moved his laboratory to The Ohio University. During this time he did EPR spectroscopy work in Ohio State University through a collaboration. After graduating, he was hired as postdoc at the Federal Swiss Institute of Technology (ETH). And to accommodate that his wife obtained the most prestigious fellowship at Texas A&M University to do studies in Educational Psychology, the family transferred to College Station, home of Texas A&M University. Then, he took a position as analytical and racing chemist in the toxicology and drug testing laboratories of Texas A&M TVMDL.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for foreign Spanish speakers interested in pursuing a masters or doctorate in the US.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Highly recommended for anyone interested in studying in the States, whether they are highschoolers or college students thinking about the future or are professionals wondering how to make a large life change with family in tow.

    Dr. Marin breaks down the entire process from why it is worthwhile to dream big to how to achieve your goal of studying in the US. He writes candidly about his own humble background, with insights that will both inspire and motivate students and professionals who can see themselves and fellow countrymen in his journey. More importantly the book provides a clear idea of how higher education in the US works in a way that breaks down myths about studying in the US. This helps makes clear to potential students all the possibilities available to them in a country and educational system that operates very differently from those in Latin America. For example, he explains how hiring processes mean professors with degrees from and connections to prestigious universities (ones foreign students have likely heard of) can be found at universities throughout the country that foreign students may never have heard of or considered (the lesson being you don't need to go to Harvard or Yale to get a good education and professional connections).

    The book also covers the realities of studying abroad providing information and resources for dealing with fear of failure, establishing a support network, integrating with locals and helping spouse and children make the transition.

    Since the book is available as an ebook anyone with a smartphone can read it easily so it makes a great gift for any Spanish speakers in your life seeking encouragement and guidance for studying in the US.
